BILLY PIG GIVES A PARTY.
Tt was Hilly Plus's birthday, and his

By noontime they had all assembled,
and Hilly's l’ig's mother decided to

H ost of tho guests went to bed early.
She spread a long table under tho

"Vou better not," said a pig from
the other side of the table. "I should

"If you knew good manners yon
would not put your nose so deep Into
that Ice creum you are eating," replied
Billy Goal.
"If you do not like the way I am

Billy Pie began to think they all
were eating more than they should

GET BUSY!
When men sit around and twiddle their thumbs
and tell each other business is "going to be bad”,
their predictions are apt to come true—for them.
Times are as good as we make them and no bet

The "live wires” are not complaining. They
are hustling.
They are not waiting for opportunities. They
are making them.
Turn to the advertising columns of the live daily
newspapers and you see the men who are going after
business now.
They are getting it. too.

“All right,” said llllly float. “Go back

Black Rooster, who sits next to you,
a poke In the back, he will think It in
the other rooster and I will take care
of the rest.”
HHly Pip did ns Billy Goat told him,
and old Black Rooster bristled up and
jumped on the ground.
"What do you mean by pushing me
that way," he asked, looking at Red
Rooster
Down flew Red Rooster and Jumped
at Black Roosrer. Just then Billy
Goat humped tho pig next to him and
Off ha rolled onto the ground. He hit
the (log, and the dog hit the goat next
to him, and the goat hit the cow, who,
never quarreling with anyone, ran
home.
But she lipped over the stool next
to her, and the cat fell over on the
duck, who thought sho was trying to
cut her. and she quacked and Jumped
ugslnst the hen next to her.
The hen hit the turkey next to her,
and as the goose fell over she hit the
pig next to her with her bill. This
frightened the pig, so thu. he Jumped

It cackled and quacked and squealed
and harked and motved.
So at last when the animals did get
upon their feet they did not wait to
even say good-bye to Billy Pig or his
mother, but ran for horn as fast as
they could go.
"There. We got rid of them at last."
said Billy Goat as the last one was out
of sight. “Now we can have all we
wont."
“Don’t be such a pig,” said Billy pig
as Billy Goat took the dish of Ice
cream and began to eat from the
dish.
"Who are you calling a pig,” asked
Billy Goat, Jumping up and humping
Billy Pig with his horns. Billy Pig
rolled over on the ground with a big
custard pie he was eating, falling on
his back.
Off went Billy Goat, his head held
high In the air and Billy Pig's mother
took Billy by the ear and led him Into
the house.
"When you have another party It
will be when you are old enough to
behave. Now you go to bed." she said.

THE WAYS OF THRIFT

Progress Through Co-operation.
(T3y W. W. Stlckney, Manager of a
Co-operative Business.)
The more I study It the more I am
convinced that co-operation. In the
trade and barter and conduct of man
kind, Is a new religion. To me. it is
more interesting than all the records
of battles and sieves. Kings and gov
ernments cqme and go, armies win £nd
lose and leave little or nothing f<jf
posterity, but this struggle of men to
live without oppression or penury with
some decency and opportunity, is real
ly the only struggle worth thinking
about, for it includes all others, and re
mains when others pass. . . . Twenty
eight men working in woolen mills for
a wage that compelled them to live in
poverty and destitution, made a solemn
compact one gloomy November after
noon in 1843 to save four cents pef
week for one year, the money to be
used to start some kind of an institu
tion that would enable them to buy the
actual necessities of life a little cheap
er. ; The business was launched
and they formulated a set of rules
that has caused the world to make a
beaten pathway to their door. These
rules are today written wholly or in
part In the fey-laws of every strictly
co-operative company, no matter where
It is organized, and they are also writ

Quitman, Ga. —What was a simple

letters from all over Georgia offering
to take some of the Belgian refugees

co-operation at work is a success In
every country in Europe. X have
searched the records in vain to find a
country where It has been tried and
failed. It may appear that we here
in America have been a little slow in
taking up Co-operative work. It must
be remembered, however, that this is
practically a new country. Even here
in the Mississippi Valley, men still
live who braved the dangers and hard
ships of pioneer life In helping to push
westward the frontier of civilization to
the foot-hills of the Rockies. It is
therefore natural that co-operation as
we know it was for a time neglected.
There has been a mighty awakening,
however, the last few years, and the
American people are today brought
face to face with the problem of a
more economic distribution of all the
products that come from factory, farm
and mine. The department of agri
culture gives out the information that

receiving 3c a bushel more for his grain
than he would If there were no co
operative elevator companies in the
state, and 3c a bushel on 300,000,000 of
grain means that $9,000,000 are left In
the pockets of the Illinois farmers that

farmer means that at least $5.00 or

Every county In Georgia Is now of

proposition and If enough farms are
offered, Brooks county will endeavor to
secure a whole shipload of Belgian
farmers for Georgia. They are the
most thrifty of all European farmers,

average American on one hundred
